People of the younger generation are almost always smarter, and people of the older generation are almost always more wise.
Young people almost always think older people are out to get them, they just want them to avoid the same mistakes they made.
Old people almost always think younger people are stupid, they forget what its like to be ignorant and not set in their ways.
The first step to understanding eachother is to listen to one another, not write them off.
Young people have no idea what it was like to grow up in the 'days of old', and old people have no idea what it is like to grow up in the 'days of new'; think 'Apples and Oranges'.
For the record, the unfan is a punk so it makes sense that you feel like old people berate you... its likely deserved.
